Just a dayhike in Holland with ...

Hi there list,

Thanks to MedicineMan for kicking my butt back into gear, I took the camera on of of my training hikes.

I usually go out for a walk 3 times during the week for about 1 to 2 hours, but never brought along the camera. Now I did, to show I am still alive (well as far as that goes anyway ). and test my new GoLite Peak backpack.

The pack was filled with some stuff I am taking on a coming hike in Khao Sok (Thailand) and I wanted to see if it performed (it did well!).

So here's to all those inspirational folks at HF!

Grtz Johan

Johan,
Great video - nice to have a chance to get to know you better. I look forward to more video from Thailand. I went to your web site and watched the 2003 Walkabout video - very enjoyable. The world is wonderful with operatic melodies floating in the air.

Alive and kicking. 3 out of four October weekends are in the woods, last one will be combined with some scuba diving ... Thanks for watching.

Thanks WV, it just feels good to share vid's on here. Like you say, to get to know other people a bit better and who knows someday you might actually meet in real life. Thailand vid will most likely be a series. Trying to keep things short but don't always succeed

The Gonewalkabout vid was originally with Pink Floyd's Shine on you crazy diamond but that was blocked by YT.

How did you like the new pack?

Thanks for watching mate, plenty of bunkers around the coastline with the grisly history attached.

The pack was really good. My first pack that weighs less than 1.4 kg (3 lbs) (if I measured correctly it weighs 795 grams [28 oz]. I slowly got the pack/base weight down enough to enjoy a lighter pack too. And, this is carry on size (European airlines can be real anal about luggage sizes).

Will have a 'Thailand Trip Gear' vid available soon...

Freezing is too cold for me! The beach is pretty good. Glad you set up your hammy, and the bird watchers were watching the highly abundant bikini birds, I assume. Yes, MedicineMan is very motivating! Well, that was a good fun day on the trail, thanks for showing it, born2roam!

Thanks for watching mate! It took me about 37 years before I could enjoy cold weather wilderness. As long as I am out there, whatever the season...

Very interesting video you made. I like to see hikes from different parts of the world. Nice beach trails there. I like the Vargo for small fires and cooking a brew of tea. Thanks for sharing with us. I look forward to more of your videos.
